Correspondence of the Gazette.
VILLA LKRDo, MEXICO, Aug. 21.-Re-
cent articles published in THE GAZETTE
relative to the operation of the new land
law of Texas, calls to mind that the lands
in Mexico are owned In large bodies by
comparatively few individuals, except
the government lands, which are held for
presumption by actual settlers, and to
encourage internal Improvements by
making grants to laudable enterprises.
So far as observation goes the mass Of
the people seem to be perfectly satisfied
with this state of affairs, snd are content
with the small wages received for help
ing to cultivate the lands, without sny
smbition to acquire an ownership in the
soil.
These large tracts are called ranches.
and the custom generally prevails of
designating each by some distinctive
name, such as San Francisco, owned by
Ramon Duran, banker at Chihuahua; San
Ygnacio, owned by Santiago L.vin, en-
braCing all the territory around the city
and station of LeTdo; Ell Relampago,
Coyoter; Santa Rosa and other less nota-
Die ranches in this section of the Repub-
lie.
The amount of land under cultivation
varies from 5000 to $4,000 acres, renting
from $40, 900 to So, 900 each. The major
portion of the original renters make their
money by sub-lelting to small renters for
portion of the cotton and corn crops,
which rarely ever fail to produce good
yield, OWING altogether to the fact that
they depend upon irrigation and do not
await the uncertainty OF the elements for
moisture, that cannot bel regulated to
meet the requirements OF growing
crop. Hundreds of thousands ct dollars
have been spent by the owners of these
lands to excavate these great artificial
srteries, that carry their millions of bar
rels OF water annually to nurture the vast
fields OF grain and cotton in the rich val
legs OF Mexico. This feature of supply
ing necessity upon which the producing
class Of Mexico largely depend, is an ex-
ample that can be probably followed in
portions OF Texas. The great Pecos
valley, for instance, could be made to
yield its millions Of bushels of grain and
its thousands of bales of cotton every
year, by well-regulated system of irri-
CATION, similar to that OF Mexico. Many
Of the rivers heading in the mountains OF
Texas, as we'll as in Mexico, carry abun.

ceived here is to the effect that few
days ago assistant superintendent and
road master OF the Northeastern Railway,

at the end of the road tearing I'D and
loading the rails that were rented 10 hiH,
and about which there had been dispute.
Mr.. Willoughby was absent in Pnilsdel-
phia. In the evening the train was ready
to run on the main line. Mrs. Willoughby
took 8 position on the road in front
them to pass out. A sofa and
sue held the fort all night and declared
she would remain there till her husband
returned. The railroad attorney arrived
and attempted unsuCcessfully to make
the woman vaCate. Mrs. Willoughby
employed lawyers, but no settlement
could be arrived al. On the evening of
the second day the railroad attorney
ordered trains to run out at eny cost.
Mrs. Willoughby has armed herself with q
rife and as the trsin came down upon
her, instead of moving, she covered the
engineer with the rife and ordered him
to halt, which he did. Here the trein
superintendent and hands remained until
compromise on satisfactory terms to
Mrs. Willoughby was agreed to.
